So the Golf GTI champs have been wrapped up, although there is the matter of a champion of champions race to be organised.
After that it's time for sorting out the VAG Trophy series and here is a thread for discussions about getting this up and running.
So far I think we're agreed on:
* Same racing rules as the Golf Champ
* Single make and model champ with the cars standard
So the floors open to discuss the above as well as which circuits, number of laps (I was thinking maybe make them a bit longer) etc etc. Go for it!

Well, in terms of tracks, I would like to see Tsukba circuit make a return (both short and long) along with Catalunya.
In terms of cars, perhaps we could all do our own liveries again, this time adding our championship position from the last series ot our cars, so Slick would get the glory of rolling with a big fat 1 on his car? Doesn't actually add much in terms of racing, but adds a nice touch?
-
GOTTA do one lap of the Ring too :grin:
Stick me down :afro:
-
im in, hopefully ill have more competition this time (as in opponents)
-
Stick slick down too :afro:
-
I'm up for it, i'll put the dates on my phone this time though :laugh:
-
Oh yeah, forgot to say I'm game for another go. Thought that was a given, but just to make sure!
I am happy to drop down a league though if its over subscribed.
-
It's definately got to be standard cars. The competition is so much closer instead of having people (me) running away with it.
I like the idea of a livery showing your previous position. Like a tour de france golden jersey.
I'm in.
Tracks....
Ring
Sebring
Tsukuba
Cataluna
Sunset Valley
Laguna Seca
At least.
-
Go on then! I'm in.

any room for any more!

I'm not fussed about the tracks. I do however think we need to implement a strict standard car only policy as I think it will make the racing much better. I know we all had Class B cars but they were all tuned differently with some being better off the line, others handle better, others were faster and in my case I had dodgy steering on mine :shocked: As we all know from F1 if we all have the same car then the racing will be better (a la S5 race we had the other day).
Whats peoples thought on punishments for being a total dick as I felt pretty bad for taking out Chuff the other night and pretty much ruining his race (obviously I didn't do it on purpose but it was still my fault). I think we should all be man enough to actually own up and take a time penalty?
Also does anyone know how to sort the order out on the grid? Seems to be a bit random at the moment. Could have qualifying?
lmao @ that picture Elvi :D :D :D :D - How about one for ultimate tag virus champion world record holder?
-
I wouldnt worry alan, and to be fair it didnt have ANY effect on the Final Champ positions so wasnt a problem despite you doing it TWICE :wink:
Komenda took me out in another race, and slowed down and let me back thru - thus no problemo again :afro:
The 8 named on the list are all gents and so the right thing will be done as a given IMHO :cool:
But 110% agree - bog standard car - no mods - well apart from colour change - but this can be ENFORCED on race set up page :smug:
-
Yeah agree - if it is a genuine racing incident, we are all in the same frame of mind to know when we are in the wrong. In none of the races did anyone intentionally do anything to any other driver.
Agree on the standard car front - but will we be able to do limited tuning on the stock car parts (tyre pressures make a big difference imo)
-

I think we should leave them.
-
+1.
Out the box stock. Same for everyone.
-
I don't think you can force a restiction on tyre pressures etc but if we can then maybe we should.
Nick
-
I think you can force stock tuning on.
-
Count me in for this too please folks!
-
I've had a thought ( I know, I know, not that common!). For a fixed car how about the Audi S4 Touring car?

I think everyone should be able to get this car and then change the livery to a personal one. That way we're all driving a car that is a proper track orientated car that will be nice and quick, handle well but still set as as "stock".
Nick
-
will have a look later and see if i can get it,
trial run later perhaps ?
-
Sounds like a plan Mr Chuff :cool:
-
What time you gayers going to be on there? Ill give it a few races if its a sensible time.
-
Good choice Nick. What class is it?
-

9pm :wink:
-
See you then chaps.
Am I right in saying its the 2002 Champion S4 Competition car that cost £150,000 ?
-
I probs won't be on till 10.
Nick
-
we should just be soted by t hen nick :laugh:
-
See you then chaps.

Hope thats the right one :grin: Im game will loose badly mind.
-
just going on now :wink:
-
Chuff, is that the one I need? Dont wanna spend £150,000 on the wrong car.
-
Its class S.
-
Hit me up if you're about guys. I've had enough of racing idiot mouthy yanks this week. If I had £1 for every time I've been called a 'faaaaaaaag' I'd be minted.
-
Might be on about 10ish too - need a spooks fix first :cool:
-
Loser, thats what the iPlayer is for !
-
I've got V+, its even worse... :grin:
Just dont want a late night thats all - still shattered from the weekend
-
Spooks was awesome, building up to a big finale me thinks.
Anyhoo I'll be on in 5 mins.
Nick
-
Just gave the S4 a blast - great car from stock (was quite surprised actually). Managed to get consistent 59 second laps around Mugello short circuit. Had a bash at a livery too:
(http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9775/forza1.jpg) (http://img225.imageshack.us/i/forza1.jpg/)
I can post the template for the number to my store front if anyone else wants it (would just need to add you champ number). It would be free of course. On the back, I also have a black cross on a yellow background to show inexperienced racers if anyone *cough Alan* wants it :grin:
-
ooops - shame we are using R8s now :lipsrsealed:
:grin:
:laugh:
-

:laugh:
Ahhhhh f*!# it.......... :grin:
Which R8 are we using?
-
Me you can race these Stronz, R8's aren't my cup of tea.
Nick
-
R8 group and a S4 group :grin:
-
So are we actually doing this then or what?
Yes I'm bored of sitting around just reading about it, and quite liked the S4's tbh. R8's were a little pony in my opinion.
Oh and how about (keeping it vag) a bugatti race around le mans le sarthe circuit? say 3 laps?
-
time n place then - is shall be there - any car to be honest - I still wont win :laugh:
-
Cool, lets go for the S4's ( I found that you need to brake earlier but you get a mighty exit speed when doing this).
I'm out tonight but Friday/weekend I'll set up some dates and circuits like the other champ.
The Veyron race sounds like a plan for a season Finale!
Nick
-
So thinking about this.
We happy to go for the same wednesday @ 9pm format? I feel this is probably best as Mrs Horney is used to it and upsetting her routine can be lethal. :grin:
Also, race distances. Were they long enough or do peeps feel that longer races would allow for the chnace of more recovery from an error/crash? I personally felt they were a little short, but I'm not up for 30 lap marathons either. There is the option int he settings for timed races so we could 10 mins for short and 15 for long or something like that. Your thought folks?
Circuits will have to be those available to all but I think we should introduce some new ones and drop a couple of others (I vote dropping silverstone for a start!). Again thought on this?
Would be good to get it up and running for the first race next wednesday.
nick
-
Deffo needs more laps.
My choice would be thus:
Force Stock - No mods WHAT SO EVER
ABS and choice of shifting only.
Uniform paint with numbers (not sure how to determine who gets what)
Simulated everything, damage, tyres, fuel
Tracks:
Sebring
Seca
Road America
Sunset Peninsula
Sedona Raceway
Cataluna
One of the sidewinder tracks?
possibly a few more, and not in that order perhaps, plus maybe some in reverse to mix it up?
-
you can stuff uniform paint - Team smirnoff WILL be running as is under number 13 :smiley:
-
All sounds great Slick apart from I agree with Chuff re the paint. But we should have uniform door numbers and everyone carry the Golf GTI.co.uk logo. Kinda like in real racing where you can chose your paint scheme but some sponsorship and official decals are set.
Nick
-
Oh and you can chose any number, but you (slick) get number 1 due to winning the last champ.

now thats getting a bit carried away :laugh: :grin:
:kiss:
-
Nah it's easy enough, everyone already has the GTI one and all someone has to do is knock up a door number template and pop it in their storefront.
ClubGTI run a league and they stipulate exactly where on the car the many different logos have to be placed! Now that is getting carried away/anal about it.

I will upload the template I did last night (unless there are any objections or it is deemed pants) if it helps. I used a 6 on my car as that is where I finished in the last championship.
I would also argue that the S4 (being a tuned car already) allows for some fine tuning of the parts it comes with, and therefore, if people want to experiment, they should be allowed. At the end of the day, they are not going to be able to gain extra ponies and potentially have as much chance of making the handling worse as they do make it better.
Agree on ditching Silverstone too.
Race lengths being timed sounds good too.
-
Oh, I also have the forum logo on my storefront, and have the URL typed out in white font (can change colour to black / whatever). I will upload that too (all free)
-
Good work dude!

If you are forcing mods off then nowt can be done.
Only way to be sure no one is cheating :evil:

I'm not sure if forcing off mods stops you from loading a tuning setup like tyre pressures, toe in etc. I think it does but would need to check.

Thats fair enough, just thought I would raise my point. Did also assume we were all honest, fair playing gents too.
-
Are we fcuk - some of us are in circles you know :grin: :smug:
-
iirc you can force off upgrades.
P.S pull your finger out and choose a car & setup.
So much for the circle.
Pi55 up and Brewery spring to mind.

League I thread is up!
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=171079.0
